[close] Hello, Group! We will be reading Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale." When I have worked out a schedule for reading it will be posted on the discussion board, along with questions to facilitate discussion. Do not be afraid to share your opinion! We all have a unique way of looking at things and that's what makes discussing literature so fun and engaging. In fact, you're encouraged to read the book from different approaches! Post every thought, question, concern, and analysis you have, just be sure to post it in its proper discussion thread. Please read the rules and have fun! If this goes well, maybe we can do this again in the future. If you would like to create your own group, just ask the moderator and he will help you to the best of his ability. All are welcome. Feel free to invite others into our discussions. Thank you!
